Q30 – 31: Splenic Assessments

Question 30: Did the recipient have a splenectomy?

Specify if the recipient had a splenectomy in the current reporting period. Report Not applicable in the following scenarios:

• Yes, was reported in a prior reporting period (i.e., splenectomy occurred in a previous reporting period)
• The recipient had a splenectomy prior to infusion

The Unknown option should be used sparingly and only if there is no information to determine if the recipient had a splenectomy.

Question 31: Did the recipient have splenomegaly?

Indicate if the recipient had splenomegaly (i.e., abnormal enlargement of the spleen) in this reporting period. Splenomegaly is often documented during the physician’s physical assessment of the recipient and represents an abnormal finding. Splenomegaly can also be detected by imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, CT or MRI.
